Lord, What About Him?

One of my favorite books of the Bible is the book of John. So many verses in it are such a part of my heart. One of my favorites is the last chapter, Jesus waiting for the disciples on the coast of the Galilea and restoring Peter to Himself and then Peter wanting to know about John's future after Jesus shared a bit of Peter's future. Right before this moment Jesus had just told Peter to follow Him. I see a few things in this. Jesus wants our eyes on Him. our concerns are not about others. What is on Jesus' heart, what is He saying or doing, what is our focus. Jesus came so that we could be back in communion with the Father. He made a way for relationship with the Father. Our focus should be about the Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit. We should be looking to Him, for Him and be in Him. As believers we should love one another as Father,Son and Holy Spirit loves one another and as we are loved by them. We should be growing in intimacy with God.
